Hollywoodland

So, to get a good view you can drive north up Gower St. from Hollywood Blvd and then north along Beachwood Drive. You can get to within 100 yards (90 m) of the sign. Currently, the letters are each 45 feet (13.6 m) high and range from 31 to 39 feet (9.3 to 11.8 m) wide. Straight from the locals..
